The wind would take the breathe from you and the showers are interspersed with sleet . Back at home, soup and a mince pie for lunch and a selection of festive tunes . Heres one that we like . It can be found on DOCD-32-20-18.Blues Blues Christmas Vol. 3: 1927 - 1962.It follows on from yesterdays choice Charles Brown Please Come Home For Christmas. Here is a little of the history of the both recordings . He (Amos ) and good friend Charles Brown then did some work for Johnny Vincents Ace label, resulting in a 1959 duet single I Want To Go Home (although it didnt sell, it was to become the blueprint for Sam Cookes Bring It On Home To Me three years later). Amos and Charles then signed with KING records, and gave us some of the greatest Christmas music ever made! Todays B side was actually released as the flip of Charles Browns classic Please Come Home For Christmas in 1960. Talk about yer double-sider, huh? It just rocks! Dig that like ska guitar, the bass, da drums - even the silly orchestral bells... not to mention Amos smooth vocals and rockin piano! (His talent as a songwriter is often overlooked as well, I mean how cool are these lyrics?) I just love it, man. reproduced from The B side of Life Blog Spot
